I love to get things for free, as do most human beings. I don't know a sin
For this reason alot of my time is spent Scouring the internet for things that are free, from product samples, to the occasional popcap Games, usually just simple stuff, or Downloadable. In recent years there has been an Increase of sites that are offering free merchandise and cash, Freebie sites, as they're KNown in the community. Yes FREE merchandise, like Playstation3 and Xbox360 games. Or Mp3 Player's, or even cash!
Surely when something of this caliber is offered, thered flags go up, and people think, "How can that be real?", "How can they just give stuff away for FREE?" Well to answer that question is simple. Trial Offers.
Trial Offers are quite simply, the method used for many retailers these days, to bring new customers, YOU, to there business. Companies Like "BlockBuster" or "stamps.com" will pay a marketer (the freebie site) a hefty commission, just to get YOU to sign-up for a FREE trial with their business. Most of these "OFFERS" are FREE, some Are dirt cheap $1-$2 , and are almost always something useful to someone.
Many people make a good extra income from completing these Freebie sites. You can Easily get that IPOD, or newest XBOX 360 game, for free or extremely cheap, depending on The trial offer you do. If I spend $3 filling out 3 trial offers to get a brand new playstation3 game, that's not a bad deal!
There are 2 kinds of freebie sites. The D.I.Y.(Do It Yourself) sites, and there are Referral Based sites. The first I have included an excellent example of an easy D.I.Y. site, at the end of this article. Basically with these sites, You simply complete offers yourself and earn a point value for each offer completed, which can then be traded in for a gift of your choice (shipping included, you pay nothing for your gift!). The second is a Referral based site. These sites are a little more difficult, veterans will start with a DIY site and after a couple of those, will do a referral site, Because when you sign up for these sites, You Just need to complete 1 offer credit (Like the DIY sites each offer has a value, anywhere from 1/4 to 1 whole credit) once completed you need to get a set number of referrals to do the same thing, depending on the reward, you may need anywhere from 1 to 25 people to comlpete a site under you.
So all in all these sites are quite real, and do pay there subscribers. Some Payout, or ship sooner than others, some are easier than others. But for getting quality merchandise completly free, or extremely cheap, you can't go wrong.
For an easy Site to start out check out www.afreespot.com. They have easy free trial, and $1 trials to earn points, There are even some No-Credit card required offers to try. plus when you join you get your first 5 points for FREE. If you refer anyone, you get 25% of any points they earn.
I hope you All have a fun with these sites as I have, and remember, some of the best things in life ARE FREE!
Thanks for reading.
